Strangers

(album: Alias - 2021)

Star crossed lovers
Now we're strangers with familiar faces
How do we forget memories that we've had
Turn everything into nothing again

We gave it all but it still wasn't enough
Both point the blame but we never accept it
We built this disaster, now say goodbye to the life we were after

This love is poison, but I'll keep drinking until I get sick
Don't recognize myself without it

Who am I
After all that we had you act like we never met
Struggling through this identity crisis
It still stings when I hear your name
What will it take to relieve this pain
If time heals all wounds, I think it's been long enough

I suffered in this place for you burning in this hell for far too long
Force yourself to focus on the pain
Cause it's the only real things that you feel at all
Haven't left your room in days
Your only friends are the shadows on the wall
Afraid for anyone to see your face
The same questions always follow
Are you feeling okay?
Are you sure you can end this fight?

I'll lie to you with a smile
I'm doing alright when I'm dying inside
And I'll make sure you can't tell the difference

(What will it take to relieve this pain you found Eden in the vices you waste
Like a whole new person, an alias)

We gave it all but it wasn't enough
Both point the blame but we never accept it
We built this disaster, now say goodbye to the life we were after
Say goodbye to the life we were after
